As AI tools get smarter, they’re growing more covertly racist, experts find

ChatGPT and Gemini discriminate against those who speak African American Vernacular English, report shows Popular artificial intelligence tools are becoming more covertly racist as they advance, says an alarming new report. A team of technology and linguistics researchers revealed this week that large language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini hold racist stereotypes about speakers of African American Vernacular English, or AAVE, an English dialect created and spoken by Black Americans.

Scaling early detection of esophageal cancer with AI

Microsoft Research and Cyted have collaborated to build novel AI models (opens in new tab) to scale the early detection of esophageal cancer. The AI-supported methods demonstrated the same diagnostic performance as the existing manual workflow, potentially reducing the pathologist’s workload by up to 63%. Esophageal cancer is the sixth most common cause of cancer […] The post Scaling early detection of esophageal cancer with AI appeared first on Microsoft Research.

Quantum Machine Learning with Python: Kernel Methods and Neural Networks

We import the necessary libraries (Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn) and Qiskit for quantum computing and kernel estimation, we load the data, preprocess the data and separate the data into features (X) and target labels (y). The last step comes back to a classic machine learning pipeline with data rescaling with standard scaler, dimension reduction using principal component analysis and the use of support vector classifier (SVC) which utilizes the quantum kernel for classification.
